“Mythological Constructivism”
I define art that is created as a social myth. Constructive
basis is the mythological story, a fragment or a reference
to certain mythological hero, passage or detail,
but considered in the problems of the modern social environment,
resulting in a new mythological experience,
a new reflection, the result of a new social environment,
where a person lives, seeking and developing. Or the
environment in which obliged to live, according to the
circumstances are obviously controlled social power,
but he may often monitor and control them (the circumstances),
psychosocial myth of modern man. Art, which
has claim, does not give the answer, and ask precise
questions to the problems of modern life.
Mythological narrative transforms into an inverted form
of the contemporary reality. The ethical norm of the
contemporary society transforms into an inverted norm
to the normative content of the myth.
Mythological Constructivism uses the principle of enantiodromia
– a natural law saying that any given thing will
sooner or later change into its opposite. First described
by Heraclitus, it later occupied a central place in Jung’s
psychology and psychotherapy, explaining the interaction
between the opposites as well as the development
of processes in time.” Slav Krivoshiev
